Pathfinder in the Forgotten Realms

[PirateLexi]

So I've been really in the mood for some Forgotten Realms of late, and since I'm still fresh off the boat in 5e, I thought I'd see if there was any interest in a standard old school forgotten realms campaign (using Pathfinder rules cause I just like them better :3).


Would prefer to play but absolutely willing to run it, I haven't run a D&D game in a while so it'd be nice to get back into that mindset .

 

[PirateLexi]

As an aside, it is possible I could do this as a chat game, but it would have to be incredibly specific about the times (and subject to change, unfortunately.)

~looks in curiously~

 

[PirateLexi]

If I can come up with about 4-5 people who would be interested and willing to go for it, I could definitely do this.

 

[Crocodile]

Well I am interested.

 

[Kallateral]

Interested! But I'm fresh to the whole Forgetten Realms setting. I'll do research, if you'll take me.

 

[PirateLexi]

Well you don't necessarily need to know the setting, I can help you out there

 

[Kallateral]

2/4-5, then.


EDIT: What books will I be needing?

 

[PirateLexi]

None, but anything Pathfinder will do. You can also use the Pathfinder SRD, http://www.d20pfsrd.com but I'd only allow base/core classes

 

[Kallateral]

So, yarr. Hopefully anybody else will be interested?

[Crocodile]

Woot, just need one more....

 

[PirateLexi]

One to go. *kidnaps other players*

 

[Kallateral]

YES! YES! YES! DO WANT!

 

[Necrominac]

This'll be fun... You could set up the character page already for the format you want the character sheets in

 

[Crocodile]

We could start discussing what people are interested in playing.

 

[Kallateral]

I was playing around with the concept of a human-raised Half-Orc Ranger. Lots of Disguise Tests, we-hey!

 

[Necrominac]

I'm always short in D&D


So either Gnome, Kobold, Goblin, Halfling, or Dwarf.


Probably Kobold or Goblin though xP


I love being a smart and snobby Kobold

 

[Kallateral]

"Disgusting creatures."


*Beat*


"... Right, who am I to talk." 
I'm also updating my knowledge of D20 by studying Darths & Droids religiously.

 

[PirateLexi]

Well then to point out, standard races (and in forgotten realms, that does include the PF equivalents to the Genasi, Tieflings, and Aasimar, and the base + new core classes are what I'm allowing. There is however a write up somewhere that I liked that does have the sub-races for all the FR stuff (cause there's a ton) that I'll see if I can hunt down.

First post there has it all really good. I'm good on the pathfinder equivalents to the Genasi, which are the Oread, Ifrit, Sylph, and Undine.

 

[Crocodile]

So I'm guessing no Hybrid Classes then from Advanced Class Guide, correct?

 

[PirateLexi]

I'm not a big fan of them, to be honest. If you can make me a good case, I might allow one. 
To whit though, I -will- allow Archetypes on a case by case basis. Some of them are really neat, some of them are really broken, and some just don't fit in Faerun.

 

[Necrominac]

Alright, when it is up tell me !


I'm really excited to do this especially if we have a goal...

 

[PirateLexi]

I'd still prefer to make sure I have enough people willing to commit before I set anything up. I spent a LOT of time setting up my last game only for 3 out of 6 people to vanish and the others to repeatedly make the most intentionally anger-inducing characters that I didn't even get past the first scene.

 

[Necrominac]

I understand.. that happened to me too. I did a pathfinders when the dice system wasn't here and it had people (They all failed to make a good Character sheet) and they never posted once! Soo much effort into that damn rp. I had a tab for all the races, classes, alignments, and deities in the info part. I made a character sheet in format of this so people only had to copy it and start typing.. I even gave them character generators if they didn't get how to do the character sheet (admittedly an annoying process)
